MINOR MENTION.

Since the establishment of a Joint reducingstation at the crotsine at Fort Wayne avenueand St. Clair street, the Evening News hasmaintained a dep siltnee concerning the outrage upon the neichborbood of placing such anaffair there. A few days aco. when but one

nataral-ga- s company bad its station at thatpoint, tbe little paper suffered acute atony overwhat it declared to be the Injury inflicted upontbe neighbors. Certainly if one company wasmaintainor a nuisance, two mieht be ezpeetedto create twice aa big a one. Why, then, thissileneet

The Charleston News and Courier, edited byCol. W. F. Dawson, is reprinting tbe commentsof St. Louis papers on Editor Dawson's personalappearance. One of them reads as follows:

"Editor Dawenn made a short aneeeh forThurman. Mr. Daweon is a splendid lookingman witn a bead or curling gray hair and abrown mustache which adds to the beauty ofhis hacdeome face. His speech was short andto tne 00nit.

It is perfectly proper to republish these things.Otherwise soma of the News's readers mightnerer discorer how handsome its editor is.

rOhlTICAL NOTES.

Philadelphia Press: The jury will in alllikelihood decide that. the Greshsm boom diedof hypertrophy superinduced by mugwumpadulation. . "... s . .

Bostox Globe: AT natural allianceis not with Mr. Sherman. It is far more probable that his choice s Deoew, Harrison or Alger,or eome man not yst named.

Ex Governor Cheney, of New Hampshire,thinks Indiana and New York should be deferredto entirely, atad that it is probable that New En-glan- d

wilt stand solid' for whoerer can carrythree doubtful States.

Milwaukee Sentinel: As the time for theChicago contention draws near it becomes moreand more apparent that Mr. Blaine might alsobe nominated br acclamation if the oppositioneditors could control the meeting.

Washington Special: Georee Gorham left forChicco to-nig-ht with a trunkful of bis Utterson Conkling in pamphlet form for distribution at the convention He is supposed to beaimiop to defeat both Sherman and Depew.

IJp to date the entries'for the presidentialsweepstakes are eleven in number. Iowa entersAllison; Micbiean. Aicer; New York. Deoew; Illi-nois, Greshsm: Indiana. Harrison: Connecticut,Hawley; Kansae, Installs; rvew Jersey, Phelps;Wisconsin, Rusk; Ohio, Sherman.

Philadelphia Inquirer: The Indiana peoplewillhaneonto the Harrison boom like grimdeath. It is easy to see the reason for this. In-diana is to ba the orincipal batle-eroon- d for thecampaign. The Harrison delegates know thestrength of their nomion, and ther will not besatisQed with a little in the compromises bywhich nominations are usually made.

Special in Pittsburg Dispatch: Harrison'sfriends are reticent about their understandingwith the old Blaine leaders, but one of Mr.Blaine's most active lieutenants in 1834. who isnow ostsniblv for another candiaata than Har-rison, said to-nig- ht that in his opinion one can-didate wonld eome from Indiana and the otherfrom New Jerser. and their names would beHarrisou an.1 Phelps.

Now that the dark horses are wbinnyinr softly all around about, says the New York Snn, itwill do to recall the origin of the phraso. It occurred for the rt time in Lord BeaconsQeld s'Yune Duke." Here ia the paragraph: Tha

first favorite was never heard of, the second favorite was never sen after the distance post.all the ten-to-ne- a were in tha rear, and a darkhorsa wbith bad never been thoneht of rushedpsst the grand stand in sweeping triumph.

Philadelphia Special: A palpably weakfeatnreof the Gresham business ia the want ofsympathy for it on tbe part of the friends ofany other candidates. The Alcer peonle are alittle closer than aov outers in mis reepect, outit is more because they bate reason to expectthey wonld benefit by any break-n- of tha Gres-ham forces than because the Gresham peoplecould hope to get anything from the Alger side.The two candidate who are eat down aa havingno elasticity are Sherman and Gresham,

Senator Stewakt, of Nevada, aaid to a Pittsburg reporter: ''1 do not eare to mention anyname a my particular choice for the nomina-tion. We want to make a careful selection anddefeat the party that loana $60,000,000 withoutinterest If the Republican psrty cannot dothis an assignee should be anpointed. and itshould die a quickly as pieeibl. But I think agood man will be nominated. Tha isue of thecampaien will be on tna tariff question. By theloaning of money without interest I mean thatthe present alministration has favorite banks.Republican should nominate a man who is op-poe- ed

to neing the government money as a pri-

vate fund."Special in Philadelphia Times: One. thing is

certain, and that ia that so far no well-regulate- d

movement in behalf of Blaine has coma tothe surface. The men who are conducting thacanvsss of their favorites will not considerBlaine as a posihiliiy, bat her and there a del-egate is to be found with an opinion that in theend tbe convention will be obliged to turn toBob IngersrH'e Plamed Knirht as the only wyout of tne difficulty. If such a thing ahould hap-pen, it will ba only after all the candidates havehad a fair trial of strength and have demonstrat-ed their inability to capture the necessary illvotes.

It ia conceded that in addition to the Stateaupon which the Repuhlicao party may rely withabsolute certainty. Indiana's fifteen electoralvotea will ba necessary to success. 1 Pis tactmakes it necessarv in naming a candidate that aman be taken who la not only strong in tbecountry at large, but one who is particularlystrong in Indiana and can certainly insure tothe Republicans her fifteen votes. Such a manis General Ben. Harrison, the gallant soldier,the able lawyer, tha astute statesman. Ha ie aman of great ability and a clean record.

Why 'Democrats Deairw narrisooa Defeatto the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal

The nomination of Geosral Harrison as theRepublican candidate for the presidency has amore far-reachin- g policy and probable results.not only affecting tbe State of Indiana, but thewhole Nation, than wonld eome from any othercandidate....At the tame time as tbe presidentialelection the members of the Legislature whichmeets next winter will also be chosen. Tbepresent infamous 'garrymandering1 of the legislative districts was tbe work of the vilestDemocratic partisanship, and intended, as tholeaders of that party bossted at thetime, "to make tha Legislature ralia-ble- v

Democratic for forty years," andand thereby secure continuously two UnitedStatea Senators. Last fall, tho Republicans,under the masterly and energetic lead f Gener-al Harrison, so reduced the number of Democrata in tho Legislature that they had to resortto fraud, violence and revolutionary acts to ob-tain tbe one majority whib put Turplo in tbeSenate. The great popular wave which willswacp over the State next fall, in the event ofHarrison being tho next Republican candidatefor tho Presidency, will bring victory, not onlyfn tbe election of the State and county officers,but what is of vastly more importance to ' thepeople of tbe State and of theUnited States, it will insure aRebubliean Legislature . which wouldrepeal tho present infamy and enact a jut andhonest apportionment law for legislative sndcongressional porposea. Tbat would place In-diana in the ''snre" column of Republican States,and the certainty that thia will be the result ofHarrison's nomination is what makes the Dem-ocrats of Indiana so desirous of his defeat atChicago. A Legislature elected under a new ap-portionment will send a Renubliean to thoUnited States Senate as successor to DemocratVoorbees and a Rpub ican will also succeedDemocrat Turpie wben his term ends. TheUnited States Senate is too nearly Democraticto be aafe or comfortable. The Repub-lican lines must be strengthened.Political wifdora and practical statesmanshipsize the opportunities of the present to securethe futnre. The nomination of Harrison msanstwo Republican Senators as soon as the law per-mi-ta

in place of two Democrats.The delegates at Chicago who are looking for

the place to put their ballots where they will dothe roost good for tha present and future willfind it in the Harrison hat when it passesaround. Tbat plac will bit the hardest andhurt Democracy more thao any other. Thecountry seeks the bl-sin- g of suecess for futureas well as the present. In so far as hutnaoevents can be told with a certainty, theRepublicans of Indiana offer to give in the nearfuture two United Statea Senators of the lue

ZransTilla Journal, Yesterday.Thia gallant soldier, sound statesman, triad

and tree Renoaliean is gamin? strength rapidlysince Mr. Blaine wrote bis letter confirmatoryof bis first letter of withdrawal. Gn. Harri-son is the acknowledged first choice of a largemajority of Indiana Republican, and in otherStates his cause is rapidly becoming popalarThe fact that Indiana is essentialto Republican success in the pendingnational contest, and tha farther fact that thaState can be eartainly carried with Gen. Harri-son on the ticket, render it extremely likely thatbe will be placed at tha head of it.

No man has so many deroted friends in thisState as he hae, and ba is especially strongamong those Republicans who manace generaland local campaigns and infloence elections.This is for the reason that ther know he can al-ways be relied on to gave an election the weichtof bis great influence and the help of bia strongcanvassing power. He has always done thissince the Republican party was organized,and nnder all circumstances ean be depended on to do so whatever may be thepressure of bia own affaire. In tbecampaign of 18S6, when not even the most san-guine Republican in tbe State dreamed of over-coming tha outrageous Democratic gerrymanderand gsining a majority tn the Legislature, underthe inspiration of Gen. Harrison's confidence andactive efforts the Republicans elected their Statetieket and nearly gained s majority in the Leg-islaturelosing the United States senatorshipby a scratch. He alo took an aetire part, aausual, in the election of 18S0, whioh is memorablefor its magnificent Republican victory all alongtbe line.' General Harrison resigned a lucrative office,to which he had just been elected by the peopleof the State (reportership of the SuuremeCourt), and went into tbe army as a private, in1861, and rose rapidly to a brigadier-geoeralshi- p

through gallant service. He waa a fighting aol-di- er

and won his stars fairly, aa ha baa won allhis honors. Though of illustrious lineage, he iaof modest merit and depends upon bis own ef-

forts and ' character for advancement. Noprominent public - man in tbe State oh less toadventitious aids than he does. No other favoritism than the peoples has pnt him forward iathe race of life.

As a Senator of tbe United States for sixyears General H. took high rank aa a practicaletateeman. He identified himself with all thagreat measures that were legislated on. and indebates proved bia ability and thorough ac-quaintance with the subject under consideraion.

Tbe best test of the quality of a public man isbis standing at home. General Harrison hasnot only the Republicans of Indianapolis, butof most of the counties of the State, practicallya unit in his favor for the presidential nomina-tion. The enthnsiaam of those who will go toChicago lo his behalf will be an indication of thefeeling throughout tha State.

Tne Indiana delegation to Chicago is unani-mously for him as first choice. It is their duty,as it is believed to be. their inclination, to atandby. him so long as there is a reasonable Lope ofbis nomination. Tne delegates from otherStates can rest assured that if he heada tbeticket Indiana can be carried by the Republicanpsrty. The fight will be a hard one, but thasplendid organization of the party, which beand his friends have perfected and now controlIn tbe State at large and nearly all the counties,together with the inspiration of having an Indi-ana man aa the national leader, will give thecampaign a ''send-of- f and impetus that cannotfail of success. The Democracy have passed ,

the State by in tbe selection of their nationalcandidates, and the Republicans now have anexcellent 'opportunity, by nominating GeneralBenjamin Harrieon, to take advantage of thiscircumstance and profit by it.

General Harrison stands high above all otherRepublicans of Indiana, since tbe death of Oli-ver P. Morton, in the true and tried and ablequalitv of his leadership. Morton's mantle, aa aleader, fell upon Harrison when "the great warGovernor" died, and gallantly haaHarrisoo worn .

it through many hard-foug- ht political battles.The Chicago convention must realise that In-

diana is necessary to success. Let them nomi-nate thia political favorite of tha State, andthen, like Napoleon, Grant and o'thar great aol-die- rs,

mess their forces against thia weakestpoint in the enemy's lines, and victory will fol-low as the day follows the night

United In Favor of Harrison.W-- H. 8., in ' incinnatl ommercial Gazette.

Never was tne party more united than it is to-day on General Harrison. It is true that thereare some Republicans who prefer Jndge Gresh-am, but except in two or three localities theyare ao searca tbat a search warrant would fail tofind them. In many counties not one is to befound. The majority of those who prefer himdo so from personal reasons alone. In all theState there are not half a dozen of . those whobare been known aa prominent in tne party whoprefer him. The party is for Harrieon, and for

. him alone, and under tha circumstances it is.pretty ebeeky for a few individuals in Chicagoto paea resolutions asking tha Indianadelegation to giro General Harrison - acomplimentary vote, snd then cast intheir lot with the Gresham contingent. Butcheek has characterized all the actions of tbeChicago bureau. It lias been operated oncheek. Take Carroll county as one sample.The bureau has, time and aeain, paraded beforethe poblie that the party in that county wasstrongly opposed to Harrison, and in favor oftbe Judge, when tha truth is that there is butone Republican in the county who is forGresham, as far as is known to the party there.If it waa left to a vote in tbat county tha votewould . be a unit for the great leader who basehsmpioned tha cause of tha partv in so mauyhard fought bat'las. Jackson county ia anotherof tha enme kind. I mention these two coun-ties simple because tbe Chicago papers have soorten reterrea to mem as neing xor their candi-date.

No one doubts that Governor Morton waspopular with his party during bia life-tim- e. Tbeman who would have the hardihood to claimthat the great chieftain waa unpopular in Indiana would ba booted at, but in 1676, when hewaa the choice of the State for this same highoffice. - there were found among those claimingto be Indiana Republicans a few who went toCincinnati to oppose his nomination. Theyfought him by fair meana and foul, and securedbis defeat. There were more from this State inCincinnati opposing the great war Governorthan will r in Chicago opposing Harrison, andyet they say he is unpopular in bis own btate.

Tha strangest thing of it all is that thsy willbe there to try and elevate tbe man who ia 1876led tha opposition to Morton. Had Morton beennominated in 1876 be would have bad the unitedsnpport of the party at the polls. So it is nowwith General Harrison. He will lose no Republican votes in this Siata, but, on tbe contrary.will receive those of a iarge number of Democrats. Ha is the only one of all tbe candidatesmentioned that is snre of Oemocralio votes inthis State.

It ia an evidence of how hard pushed hia opponents are for material when tbey set up thathe cannot command the snpport of the partyin thia btate, wnen every townsnfp, county,district and State convention Indorsed himcordially, and then claim that a candidate whohas not received the indorsement of a . sicgleconvention could command, that snpport. Itis not true that tbe party in this State did cotknow that Judge Gresham was a candidate. Itbas been known sine 18S4. Since then his sup-porters have been actively at work trying tobuild up a sentiment for him hare. Last en tu-

rner they began an aetive campaign in bis inter-est. &nd when tbe conventions were called to ap-point delegatea to Chicago, they tried as hard aamen could, in every oiatrict They failed eig-nal-ly

in every instance. The county of hia birth:did resolve in bis favor, but when tbe delegatea .

reached the district convention they united invoting instructions for General Harrison. Nofriend of General Harrison has bad aught to say .against any other gentleman named in e6nnec-tio- n

with tbe office, nor have they gone into anyState thai had a candidate, of its own andurged the elairos of General Harrison. Nomore manly fight for a candidate has ever beenmade thao that by Indiana for ber choir. ndit ia a little singular for Illinois, nnder all thecircumstance, to aet np aa the dictator to thiaState. Tbe Chieago papers go upon the ideathat the 93 per cent of tho RepnMieans whorefer General Harrison will quietly auhtnlt toSeing ignored and rota for the choice of a part

of Illinois. The conduct of tbe Chicago papersbas bean insulting in tha highest degree, andbas given good eauae for resentment. Had theyboomed Judge Gresham aa an lilt nots candidateno one in Indiana would have said aught againstit, but it is when thav allege that be is tho can-didate of the party in this State they croaa theline of forbearance.

If General Harrison la fairly defeated at Chi-cago there will be no sulking in tbe tents bf tha

.partv here, bnt if ha Udefeated by unfair means,tbat is, by wtmi the ar-ed-s or distrust bcuecf a snponsed division )0 tha ranks of the Indi-ana Republicans, the State will be lost to theyarty. lo beittr or. truer Republicans erit

tried Republican and the only candidate whocan make a legal tender of the fifteen electoralvotes of Indiana.

This is a great year for Harrison hats inIndiana. The wheat crop will be short, andthe corn crop is yet to be made, but tho cropof Harrison hats is enormous. In addition tothe new crop there is a very large supply leftover, so that the total number of Harrisonhats in sight is something extraordinary. Aretired statistican whose sands of life arenearly run out estimates the total number inthe State at 233,001, of which 193,355 are ofthe new crop and 37,339 are left over. Theyembrace all styles and varieties of hats,- - butas each one covers a Harrison man they aro allHarrison hats regardless of material, shape ortrimming, and it is remarkable that thewearer of a Harrison hat carries his headequally high, whether it is covered withnew straw or an old felt, a stove-

pipe or a Derby, one of the new crop or a leftover.

Mr. Tnuit man's strength on the Pacificcoast seems to vary according to circumstances, if tbe San Francisco Call is to be be-

lieved. The Call says he would be 5,000

votes stronger than any other candidate if ho

were first upon the ticket, and then adds,mournfully:

"But Thurman, as the intellectual Her--eules, bearing Cleveland on his shoulders,represents quite another figure. The heroismof character and force of brain are obscuredby the use they are put to. Thurman can-not be elected Vice-preside- nt without electingCleveland Presinent. As Vice-preside- nt

Thurman would have no more influence onthe second term of Cleveland than he hashad upon the first,"

Tee Boston Advertiser makes a strongpoint when it says of the claims that Michigan is doubtful, made by General Algeria supporters, that "if Michigan, which has always

been Republican in presidential elections,cannot bo relied upon by the Republicansthis year, they might as well give up the con-

test in advance. At any rate, it would nothave a very inspiriting effect upon the partythroughout tho country for the Chicago con

vention to act as if it considered Michigan adoubtful State."

TnE Journal wishes to do exact justice tothe Chicago press, and is therefore free tosay that full details of all murders, burglariesand domestic scandals occurring anywhere inthe United States are to be xound in its col-

umns. In the matter of political news, bow-eve- r,

it is not to be depended on the situation even in its own State being greatly misrepresented. The Journal's special train thisweek is for the purpose of supplying nativesand strangers in that city with the truth.

AN exchange sajs that the people who stayat home, either through choice or necessity,will learn the most of what goes on at Chi-

cago, and will have the news nearly as soonthrough tbe newspapers. This is a very justremark, although an exception must be madeof the Chicago papers. The Journal, whichpublishes the news ungarbled, keeps thepublic posted. Now is the time to iubseribe.

The Minneapolis Tribune seems to haveslipped a cog since its late change of ownership. If the Journal may venture a friendlysuggestion, it is that the new managementahould make an effort to secure harmony between its head-lin- e editor and the editorialwriters. In its present disjointed state readersare puzzled to get tho proper focus upon thenews of tho day.

INDIANA Republicans are the most hospitable and social of people. They are not onlykind to the convention delegate who enterswithin their borders, but they go forth intoother States to meet and greet him on hisway. If, as an acknowledgement of thiscourtesy, the delegates shall see fit to casttheir votes for Indiana's favorite son, theState will be wide open to them on their re-

turn.

The Journal contains some Harrison literature this morning. It is adapted for readingeither before or after church. ' Portions of itmight' even be incorporated into religiousservices to the improvement of the sermonsand the benefit and gratification of the con-

gregations. ' -

Tbe main purpose of the distribution ofJournals at Chicago this week is to supplythe delegates and assembled Republicans withthe truth concerning candidate Harrison. Incidentally, it will serve to show Chicagoanswhat a newspaper is.

Democrats are trying to figure out howthey can carry Oregon in November; butwhen they think of the 4,000 majority theyhad and the 7,000 Jthe Republicans now havethe prospect for getting 11.000 rotes does notseem clear.

The Democrats do not trouble themselvesabout the solid South with its 153 electoralvotes; neither should the Republicans aboutthe 182 solid Republican votes of the North.The doubtful States are the battle-groun- d.

Gen. Lew Wallace took Ben-Hu- r througha chariot race in grand style. If he has asgood luck in helping Ben Harrison throughthe presidential raco it will add another lau-

rel to his crown.

General Harrison cau carry Indiana, aState that Mr. Blaine did not carry, and acombination can easily be made that will insure New Jersey or Connecticut, whichmeans success.

In departing from its non-partis- an Sundaycustom on this occasion, the Journal has noapologies to make. The paper and its read-

ers are for Harrison on Sunday as well asweek days, and why not say so?

The Indiana Soldiers' Monument is to be265 feet high. If Harrison is nominated someidea, of its height may be obtained by notingthe appearance of the Indiana delegation whenthe convention is over.

Assuming that the electoral vote of Indiana laabsolutely necessary for the election cf a Re-publican President, it would be an aet cfbariksri fo? the Republican eonvntioe unJsfthe ctrcurostences to go awsy trom,Indian fora presidential candidate. The copvsntlon thicltnot ao much as think of going awsy from thisState for the candidate, bersuse of alleged feel,ing claimed to exist between Indtanas candi-date and Judge Gresham, one cf Indiana's hon-ored sons. Indiana bss said to the de!gr.Us tethe conventiod outsUft of her limits, in thexnot authoritative manrer that it gpossible for her to spesk as a State,that she has a candidate, and bas cszcelGen. Ben Harrison as her candidate. As aState she presents him to the convention, aclearnestly asks that he be nominated. If there beany conflict in Indiana between the friends ofGen. Harrison and the friends of ber honoredson, Judge Gresham. who is no lonrera residentof the State, would it not be pArty suicide, er. attbe very least, gr-a- t party unwisdom, to throwthere both aside and tafce r.p some other candi-date and give him the nomination, for tbe scp- -

purpose of heeling diseortMous In Indiana!Fosed Republicans say to the convention iaasking it to nominate Harrison, we believe wewill carry the State for him. If the Republicanscannot csrry the State for him, they cannotcarry it for aoybody. Tbey go into the battlefor bim not only with roorare. but with the in-

tuitive feeling of victorywhich tn itse'.f is halfthe battle.

It would be impossible to tranafer thia ardorand coo rage, this conviction of victory into tbshearta of the rank and file cf tbe party for anothsr.and they are the soHlers who mu:t do ttsfighting and achi've the victory. '

The importance of Indiana in thepresidsntlalcontest will, no doubt, be duly corsidered by theUhicago convention, and we believe tbat the-Stat- e

should present. a solid front for tbe maawbo is likely to receive the larret vote in No-vember. While the majority f Republicans lathis locality are in fe.vor of Judge Gr-ha- asfirst choice, we do not know of one who wouldnot cordially support Geo. Harrison. That theremust be concsaions made as to personal prefer-ences is self-evideu- t. and the fact that everycongressional district in the State, aave one, basinstructed for Harrison, makes it. plain to usthat Indiana should be a unit for him in the con-vention. This position is assumed 00 the broadproposition that the party defend are greaterthan the claim of any indvidnaZ, ana doesnot take into consideration our own parsonal predilections. While Judre Gre&niaha thousands of warm admirers in this State,in tbe light of the action taken by the conven-tions tbat selected the national delegates, ha eancot justly be presented as Indiana's choice. ThatProud distinction haa ben- - clearly placed uponGeneral Harrison. Judge Grrsham is ncQoet-tionab- ly

IBDIAfl A AND HER CANDIDATE.

The Republicans of Indiana present Gen.Benjamin Harrison as their candidate forPresident and ask that be bo made the nomi-

nee of the Chicago convention. The circum-

stances tbat have led to this action are not of

their creation or seeking, and still less ofGen. Harrison's thejr aro a part of the logic

of events. For the Republicans of any Stateso present a presidential candidate and a-- jf

the convention to make him the candidate of

the party is to assume a responsibility thatcan only be justified by reasons involving thowelfare of the country and the interests of theparty at large. The Republicans of Indianafully realize this fact and are prepared to give

such reasons. . In urging the. nomination ofGeneral Harrison they, are not actuated bypolitical caprice or State pride. They have

no desire to antagonize tho plans of any othercandidate, nor merely to advance the personalfortunes of their own. They aro not looking

to any ulterior result or aftercombination, Tbey aro not ask-

ing for the presidency in . tho hope ofgetting something elso nor urging the candi-

dacy of one man as a mask for . that of an-

other. Nothing of the kind. They urge thonomination of General Harrison because tbeybelie re be possesses as many elements of fit-ce-ss

and mors elements of strength than any

other man tbat can be named. If there is an-

other doubtful State more necessary to Re-

publican success than Indiana, and more

clearly within reach of attainment by wise

action, we freely admit that such State is en-

titled to more consideration than Indiana.

If there is ' another candidate who can morecertainly capture fifteen .doubtful electoralvotes and practically insure Republican suc-

cess than General Harrison, we freely admitthat such candidate is entitled to more con-

sideration than Harrison. But where is theresuch a State and such a candidate! Indiana'scandidate. can carry Indiana, and it is notcertain .that any other candidate can. This,we take it, is a sufficient reason for the pres-

ent attitude of the Indiana Republicans, andone very clearly involving tho interests of

the party at large.The electoral figures bearing on the case

must be familiar to all who have studied it,but it can do no harm to recall thci. Thereare 401 votes in the Electoral Collide, and ittakes 201 to elect. Of these, Mr. EUine, in18S4, had 182 votes, being 19 short cf an elec-

tion. Counting these States as still Repub-

lican, which any fairly acceptable candidatecan carry, there will still be lacking 19 votes.

Aside from New York, which is almost cer-

tainly a Democratic State, the only two com-

binations that can supply the lacking 19 votesare Indiana 15 and Connecticut 6, or Indiana15 and New Jersey 9. This is the logic ofevents that make Indiana tho pivotal State.It is hardly too much to say that the Repub-

licans cannot possibly succeed without itFrom the time it became evident that the

nomination would probably come to Indianaby the law of political gravitation, thero hasbeen no doubt as to Indiana's candidate.General Harrison is to all intents and pur-

poses the uuanimous choice of tbe party. Asa soldier of brilliant and unsullied record, astatesman of broad and comprehensive views,

a lawyer of trained and disciplined mirid, anorator of rare eloquence, a Christian gentle-

man and scholar, and a Republican of thehighest and best type, he possesses every ele-

ment of strength to constitute a winning can-

didate. His fitness, strength and avaUabilitywere universally recognized, and the senti-

ment of the party found heartyand ' unanimous expression throughtownship, county, district and Stateconventions, through the Republican press,

and . an overwhelming majority of thoseauthorized to speak for the party. In thisway, without any self-seekin- g on his partand as a natural result of the political situa-

tion. General Harrison comes to be presentedat Chicago as the choice of the Indiana Re-

publicans for President. This result has beenreached without any perceptible friction ordiversity of opinion. What little thero hasbeen has only served to emphasize the prac-

tical unanimity of party feeling. The Republicans of Indiana are as solid for Harrisonas those of . Ohio are for Sherman, those ofIowa for Allison or those of Michigan for Alger.The attempts to create diversions in this Statein favor of other candidates than Harrisonand to make inroads upon his strength havenot only failed, but, there is reason to believe.have recoiled against those in whose interestthey were ostensibly made. The following ofother candidates is not only small, but purelypersonal, and does not indicate any division inthe party nor any organized political sentiment. So far as the Republican party of In-

diana is concerned it has but one chcice, andthat i3 General Harrison. In this spirit hisname will be presented and his eandidacyurged at Chicago with malice towards none,with charity for all, and in the earnest hopethat the Republicans of other States will beable to see tho situation as it appears to thoseof this State, with Indiana folding the key totho situation and Harrison holding the key toIndiana. -
